Well, let's look at what Monroe's Marisa Monasseri did for her team in Monday's 7-0 victory over South Plainfield.

For the record, Monasseri was 1-for-2 with three RBI and two walks. Not earth shattering, but here's a closer look:

After flying out in the first inning, Monasseri came to bat in the third with two runners on in a 0-0 game. Monroe didn't have a hit at this point as the runners reached on an error and a walk.

Batting out of the lead-off spot in order to guarantee her at least one quality at-bat per game since most schools are choosing to pitch around her or just intentionally walk her, Monasseri was looking for something outside since South Plainfield's freshman pitcher Katherine Vill had been pitching her that way.

But with this powerfully-built slugger, you cannot make a mistake and when the next pitch was just a touch inside, it was hit over the center-field fence for a 3-0 lead with one swing of the bat.

For Monasseri, headed to Caldwell, it was her 98th, 99th and 100th career RBI.

South Plainfield chose to walk Monasseri in her final two at-bats.

With a runner on second with one out in the fifth, she was walked. But after a strikeout, a walk and a passed ball, Casey Schieda made it hurt with a two-run single.

In the sixth, Monasseri was walked with runners on second and third, but perhaps her presence at the plate forced a passed ball on the intentional walk as a run scored.

The way I look at it, her mere presence at the plate led directly to six runs being scored.

ON THE MAPIn 2011, when a hot-shot freshman battery arrived on the scene in backstop Marisa Monasseri and hurler Kelly Widener, people started talking about Monroe softball.

When those two, along with fellow freshmen Margaux Peterson and Jessie Shea, joined the likes of established players Jenna Pritzlaff, Alexa Carini and the Felice sisters, Christina and Brittnie, the Falcons began the season at 2-5, but then stunned the world by advancing to the GMC Tournament championship.

The Falcons bowed to Woodbridge 1-0 on a home run to leadoff batter Taylor Hopf in the first inning, but the future had arrived.

In 2012, only Brittnie Felice graduated. And, with three talented sophomores joining the group in Kendra Barlotta, Casey Schieda and Cindy Foresta, along with a junior named Morgan Schweitzer, a formidable squad took the field for Monroe.

It took a minute for the group to mesh as the Falcons began the season 0-2, but then they got on a season-long roll, finished 22-5 and won the GMC Tournament.

Monroe beat East Brunswick in the final, 1-0 on Foresta's RBI single in the 7th. The victory came less than one week later after losing to East Brunswick in the Central Jersey, Group 4 Tournament, 3-1.

With Carini, Pritzlaff and Felice all gone, but everyone else back, 2013 was expected to be a banner season.

It sure started out that way as Monroe raced out of the gate to an 8-0 record having outscored the opposition, 76-9.

But a loss to South Brunswick, two losses to Kennedy and a loss to Bishop Ahr sandwiched in had the Falcons on their heels heading into the post-season.

What followed was a loss to eventual tourney champion South Plainfield in the GMCT quarters, 3-1 and an 8-0 loss to Hillsborough in the Central Jersey, Group 4 semis.

Although Monasseri played with an injured thumb all season and Widener was playing with an injured shoulder which required surgery, the Falcons wanted more.

The final record was 18-6.

So here we are in 2014.

With Monasseri, Widener, Shea and Peterson still serving as that nucleus, along with Barlotta, Foresta and Schieda, will this be a season of unfinished business?

“We want to have a great post-season,'' said Monasseri. “But right, we just want to get better every game and get prepared for that.''
